From local news, Native Air Crash
A medical helicopter belonging to Native Air makes a hard landing this evening at Mesa's Falcon Field.
A Native Air spokesman says the air ambulance was carrying a trauma patient from the Show Low area when it experienced mechanical problems and made an emergency landing at Falcon Field.
Fox 10's Skyfox was on hand shortly after the chopper went down. From Skyfox, you could see the chopper was tipped over partially on its side as the rotor turned kicking up dirt and dust.
The Mesa Fire Department removed the patient from the medical helicopter.
That person was transported to a second medical helicopter and flown to Scottsdale Osborn Hospital.
Three crew members were slightly injured when the chopper went down. They've also been taken to the hospital. Fire crews doused the chopper with foam to prevent a fire.
An investigation is being launched.
